Hi, can anyone recommend the best way to insert a Google map above the forums/threads.

example, i have the following:


{google map here}
General Chat
Car Faults
Car sales

thanks

You can add the embed HTML to an ad template or custom template, using a conditional statement to target the specific pages you want.

and any info/help on doing this?

Also to add i am looking to add a different map in different forums/sections - is this possible.

 

[Paul B]

Yes, just add the embed HTML code wrapped in the relevant conditional statement.

See the link in my signature for a guide on those.

ok, i added the following as a new template:

<xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} == 137">
This content will show in forum x
</xen:if>

but it isnt showing above the threads in that specific node?

any ideas why

Which template did you add it to?

The template needs to be called if it is to be displayed.

i went to appearance, templates and then created the new template.

How do i call it?

sorry im not upto speed on xenforo.

I would recommend just using one of the ad_* templates rather than creating your own.
